A PROFESSIONAL burglar had time added to his jail sentence after admitting receiving drugs and mobile phones thrown over the wall at HMP Liverpool.

Craig Lloyd, 25, was in prison on burglary charges when he was spotted on CCTV hanging around the grounds looking suspicious in December, 2011.

He was seen to pick up the packages near the outer wall and run to the gym where they were found hidden under a fire extinguisher.

Prison guards found they contained three mobile phones, five chargers, 21g of cannabis resin and 4g of cannabis bush.

Lloyd, who is from North Wales, claimed he had been approached by Liverpool criminals who bullied him into picking up the drugs for them by saying they knew where his parents lived and would “send someone round”.

Lloyd, who is now in the middle of a different prison sentence for a third strike burglary, admitted conveying items into prison.
